There’s a whole world out there.
Our programs for middle school students are a step beyond traditional summer camp. Push off on a Caribbean live-aboard voyage that allows you to explore multiple islands, learn a bunch of new skills like scuba and sailing, and earn certifications for your achievements. Or venture to Central American countries like Panama or Costa Rica and trek though cloud forest, surf the Pacific or zip line through trees on one of our incredible eco-adventures. Learn Spanish in Costa Rica or study marine creatures in the Bahamas. Wherever we go, whatever we do, our middle school adventures give you a chance to step out into the world and try your hand at new experiences. We also weave in meaningful and fun service projects with local communities and indigenous tribes and open you up to different ideas, beliefs and ways of living. In the end, you’ll leave with endless memories, inspiration and experiences to draw upon as you continue exploring the world.
Below is a list of programs specifically designed for small groups of middle school-aged teens.
